You're not expected to know this. These questions help you compare and avoid surprises.
“Can I see your General Price List?”
Federal law (FTC Funeral Rule) requires them to give you itemized pricing. You have every right to ask.
“Do you accept insurance assignment?”
This means they bill the insurance company directly. You don't pay thousands upfront and wait to be reimbursed.
“What's included vs. what's extra?”
Packages may not include everything. Ask about the casket, embalming, transportation, facility fees, and death certificate copies.
Know Your Rights
The FTC Funeral Rule protects you. Every funeral home must provide an itemized General Price List if you ask — in person or over the phone. You are never required to buy a package and can choose services individually. You also have the right to use a casket purchased elsewhere.

“I have twin grand babies who died before their birth that are buried at Williams. The staff could not have been anymore compassionate or accommodating to my daughter who was quite emotionally fragile at the time and in panic/grief mode started making last minute requests - literally at the grave side. They were the picture of patience and compassion. To Williams and other funeral homes who remember that it's not a business transaction for surviving family members - it's personal - I am grateful.”

“If you call christian value like saying you have paperwork and then it disappearing when the other funeral home calls them. Sad that people do this . Just want put my dad to rest he has been sittng long enough. He was passed away a while because they had have dental to say its him. I wouldn't take my dog here . No respect or anything here. So think twice before going. They others charge more its worth it .”
